\"\"<\/a>We are days away from crowning the champion to the 2022 season and now just five months away from baseball returning to Chicago. I thought it would be a good time to revisit, for the first time in six years, the all-time rankings in both offensive and defensive categories for all iterations of the current 30 teams for the 1040 games I\u2019ve identified that I have attended. We continue today on the defensive side of the ball with batters hit by a pitch.<\/p>\n

Again, based on the raw numbers, the White Sox and Cubs are far and away the leaders in this category, as they are the teams I\u2019ve seen the most. When you adjust the numbers per game, the Guardians and the Devil Rays lead the way, followed, surprisingly, by the Tigers, who hit a little more than 1 batter every other game.\u00a0 The Mets are at the bottom, hitting less than one batter every nine games, while the California version of the Angels and the Miami version of the Marlins have yet to hit a batter in a game I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n
